A useful thing



When I partitioned my big 160 GB hard drive the first two are too small. I want to, with fdisk make the first 2 partitions into one which will be 15 GB and big enough for F7.

Doing this will screw up Grub of course, but I now know what to do. I will edit /boot/grub/grub.conf so that the new changed partitions are right based on what fdisk prints out. This will be simple knowing what to do :-)

I want to put F7 in this new partition and that will be simple but I will need to fix Grub again since it will be using F7 as the grub home.

Then the hard part. I like the FC6 kernel I am using now and want to use it on F7 which will eliminate one big minus I had to F7. How do I yum the FC6 kernel onto F7?
